My weekend thus far

I had every intention to stay in bed for much of Friday, like I did on Thursday, but then it occurred to me that if I do something different, maybe I will feel different. What a concept. So, I spent roughly 4 hours of the day on the phone with Laura. It made the day go by fast and I think it was good for both of us to talk about things.

On Friday evening, Courtney and I had plans to go out to a bar that a friend of ours owns. When we got there, he had already left for the day, but someone we went to college with was there and let's just say he had clearly been over-served. My friend Rachel joined us out as did an ex-boyfriend and a co-worker of Courtney's. We had a good time there, but then it was time to head off to the next place. I wanted to see what the new bar Plan B in Madison was all about, as I had heard a lot of good things. Suffice to say that I had a great time being with friends, some from a long time ago and some I had just met. We danced, had some drinks and just enjoyed the atmosphere. It was definitely a place I could go back to.

So far today I have not done much of anything. Tonight the plan is to have a bonfire and some friends over. If the weather turns bad we will just have a party inside the house, but clearly the bonfire would be much more fun :)

I have been very blessed the past few weeks with friends and family gathering around me in support, love and encouragement. I am very thankful, honored and touched by every one's kind words. So, now I would like to ask that everyone who has been so kind to me, to send positive thoughts to Carsten, who is struggling right now with a few things and I know could use some support. He is a great person and I hate to know that he is hurting and having a hard time.
